Fendi Floral Zucca Shopper
I saw a tweet about this bag recently and fell 100% in love with it. So, naturally, I had to share it with our Handbags.com readers. It’s the Fendi Floral Zucca Shopper.
What I love about it is that it’s the perfect spring handbag, but it’s also a great bag for going out at night. Normally you might not think of black when you think of spring handbags, but the bright flowers of the floral print certainly add that spring/summer element. And while you might not think of flowers when you think of a bag for going out at night, the black color brings that night element to the print. So it’s actually quite the perfect combo.
The Fendi Floral Zucca Shopper is available at Neiman Marcus for $990.
M. Andonia Hawaiian Tote
When I think of spring, I think of flowers and travel - mostly warm, tropical vacations. And what’s more tropical and flowery than Hawaii? Hawaii makes a great spring getaway for anyone - students, young couples, and families alike.
Of course, when you travel to Hawaii, you should look the part. You don’t want to carry a bag that looks more at home on the streets of New York than a palm tree lined promenade. The M. Andonia Hawaiian Tote is the perfect bag (and not just because it has Hawaii in the name). This tote features a Hawaiian flower design on the side with a lovely orange trim. It’s perfect for taking you from beach to town to evening. Stash the matching M. Andonia Ivory Hawaiian Wristlet inside this tote as a stylish cosmetic bag or wallet.
Of course you don’t have to be in Hawaii to carry this bag. It’s perfect for spring no matter where in the country you are.
Find the M. Andonia Hawaiian Tote at eBags for $279 and the M. Andonia Ivory Hawaiian Wristlet for $78.
Camenae Aphrodite Bag
The Aphrodite tote is perfect for both work and play. That’s because the bag is not only a great handbag, but it can also fit smaller laptops. More importantly, the fringe is removable. That’s right. Remove the fringe for an executive look. Add it back on to go out after hours. What a handy feature!
The Camenae Aphrodite Bag is made in Italy of leather, silver and pale gold hardware, and waterproof treated lining. Find it at eBags for $1,240.
Mellow World Alluring Bag
Made from patent faux leather, this multi-color hobo will certainly turn heads. It’s perfect for daily use because it can be worn with just about anything (except maybe a rainbow outfit) and it’s a great size - not too large but just large enough to carry on your shoulder.
The inside of the bag is completely lined and has several pockets for organization.
Find the Mellow World Alluring Bag at eBags.com for $70.40.

Rocker Chic Handbags
Rocker chic is also a trend in spring 2010 handbags. Rocker chic handbags are bags with studs, chains, exposed zippers, and other hardware. Many are patent leather or faux leather - especially black. Some also feature animal prints like snake or cheetah.
Rocker chic handbags are great not only with those torn skinny jeans, but also for nights out. That’s what is so great about rocker handbags. You basically get two bags in one - a day and a night bag.

Meet Physhion
Unique name, classy bags. Physhion is a luxury brand of activewear that also offers their sophisticated style in wristlets, gym bags, and yoga bags.
The Physhion Lolita wristlet is truly a truly classy wristlet. It’s great for holding your essentials when you’re heading to the gym or running around town. It’s large enough to fit your MP3 player, phone, money, and keys but still compact enough to carry by hand.
By the way, the name Physhion is derived from their slogan: where physical meets fashion.

Laptop Handbags
It there a handbag that is stylish but also fits my laptop?
Well, yes and no. Yes, you can find large totes that you can carry your laptop in (preferably protected in its own padded laptop sleeve) or you can find women’s laptop bags and totes with built in laptop sleeves. However, a satchel or a hobo that fits your computer might be a tall order especially if you want to carry other items like makeup bag, cell phone, keys, wallet, and hairbrush in the same bag.
So that’s why the answer to whether or not laptop handbags are out there is not a definite yes or no. It depends on your definition of “handbag”. I would argue that women’s laptop totes are a type of laptop handbag especially when they are produced by traditional handbag brands. For instance, Anuschka makes lovely hand-painted handbags, but did you know they also offer a lovely hand-painted leather laptop case? Even laptop bag brands are making cases that lean more toward the fashion tote side than your average black business case.

Ring in Spring With Lesportsac’s Everygirl Tote
We’re also starting to see spring bags from more affordable brands - particularly bags that feature spring colors or spring images like flowers. One bag that falls in this category is the LeSportsac Everygirl Tote. It’s the perfect tote for everyday and includes everything you’d expect from a tote - plus double handles and top zip.
The LeSportsac Everygirl Tote is available in 3 prints - the brightly colored Reverie, the cheery Vaudeville, and my favorite Primrose featuring butterflies.
Like these prints but need something smaller or larger? LeSportsac also makes a Small Everygirl Tote and a Deluxe Everygirl Tote (large) in the same prints.
The LeSportsac Everygirl Tote is available at eBags for $78.00.
Neon Handbags
Neon. It’s not usually what comes to mind when you think of handbags. Yet, neon handbags are making their way into spring collections.
Heather Hawkins, for instance, has several clutches and convertible handbags in bright, neon colors like neon green, neon pink, and neon yellow. The neon green Heather Hawkins San Tropez is my absolute favorite from the new collection. Chinese Laundry also has several bags right now in bright colors including the Piped Tote in bright pink. The colors are so bright you’ll think you stepped back into the 80s. All you need are legwarmers and a headband.
For neon handbags from designer labels, be sure to check out the L.A.M.B Ultraviolet Rhodes Lambskin Satchel. Available at Bloomingdales for under $300 now. Or for a cute overnighter, take a look at the Isaac Mizrahi Medium Dayglo Duffel Bag with Duster. I love the day-go pink color - makes me think of neopolitan ice cream.
